Girl, 16, Grow beards after rare medical treatment
For any young girl, her teenage years can often be the hardest time in her life as well as the most memorable and fun.
For 16-year old Nana, who recently found herself growingthick facial and body hair afterundergoing a life-saving drug treatment, they're becoming years she'd rather now spend alone, hiding in her room.
Staring blankly before a camera, the Chinese girl, whose only first name has been given, shows off what has grown into a heavy beard and moustache as the unexpected product of a rare condition called hirsuitism.
'The doctor said that...it was very serious and without treatment [Nana] would die,' her mother told China's Zinhua news agency according to the Huffington Post.
